More than we paid for Erling, a proven striker, who has carried his goal-scoring record in the Premier League.

Where are they getting this money from ???

Jim virtually said they are potless and again showed yearly revenue at a loss,

But what if the selling club demand the full amount upfront, Manchester City 100% pay a City Tax on Players we wanted, Like you, I am no financial expert, But City had the money to pay upfront on players and maybe we were not smart enough to put them through the books on 6 to 10 year contracts like Chelsea have

Presumably, if the selling club had demanded the entire fee up front, the rags wouldn’t have been able to sign him.

I suspect that the people at City are quite savvy regarding financial matters , whatever Chelsea choose to do, so not really a big issue imo.

I’m no financial expert, but isn’t the fee amortised over the length of the contract?

Thought the maximum amortisation period accepted for FFP or whatever , is 5 years, irrespective of the length of the contract ?

Sure one of our financial experts can confirm.

...who the hell is he? I've never heard of him.
